Default Strings now on

The new strings have now been on for a couple of weeks. !!Great Set!! (thank you Pirastro). The sound has improved enormously, much deeper and growling especially in the bottom two strings. The volume of the bass has also increased immensely.
I must admit I wasn't too keen on the Permanent E initially, I thought it sounded quite 'shallow' when comparing to the other three (Flexocor '92); but after a week it seems to have really come out and I can now say that it is probably my favourite string. Maybe this string just needs longer to settle?
My daughter, and her teacher, loves the new sound, she's only mentioned that this set seems to be harder on the left hand (I guess this is to do with greater tention) but are a lot easier on the bow. I guess it took her all of two practices to get fully used to them, not bad.
